2011 season was very successful overall. The amount of fish caught on the lake this year was tremendous. I thought the 2010 season was good but cannot compare to how many fish were caught this year. The fish were a little smaller probably due to the late spring and competition in the lake for food. I expect that 2012 will be as good with a few more bigger fish caught.

All the guests up here this year were amazing. We had a wide range of guests at the lodge. From the hardcore anglers to families fishing and horseback riding. We even had a few guests who did not fish or trail ride but were up at the lodge to simply enjoy the scenery and peacefulness of Chaunigan Lake.

I would love to see you all back up here again.

October News

Well another season at Chaunigan is almost over. It was a very good year and the fishing and trail rides were enjoyed by many. Many, many fish were caught this year. Some think myself included that the fishing was even better then last year.

The nights are getting cold but the days are still quite pleasant. We have have guests up enjoying some October fishing. They are many using flashers with wedding bands and usually a bit of worm on the hook. Seems to work very well for this time of year.

The horses are going to their wintering grounds down in the valley. The last of our guests are leaving on Saturday and will start closing things down for the winter. I hope all of our guests enjoyed their stay with us this season and we hope to see you back up here sometime.

Thanks

Hello Everyone

September for the most part was a beautiful month. The first two weeks were absolutely beautiful. Sunny days and warm weather kept the fish active. The weather has been on and off for the following weeks with the nights starting to get cold.

The fishing has still been very good this month. The fish have still been hitting mainly on the flies popular all year. Wholly buggers black and green and the Doc Spratley's red, green and black are still working very well.

First day of snow today has brought a couple inches of the white stuff. Will be expecting more now that we are getting into October.

Hello Everyone

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous at the lake. Highs have been in the 20- 24C range and skies have been clear. The nice weather is expected to stick around for awhile and be nice right through to the long weekend.

The fishing is still incredible up at the lake. Many fishermen are still catching between 20- 40 fish per day easily.

It has been a great season so far and we have many more bookings for September. Come on up and enjoy some great fishing and scenery. The horses have been very busy this year so for those interested in a trail ride the horses are ready to go.

Hello Everyone

The fishing is still incredible up at the lodge. Guests are still catching plenty of fish (10-15 per hour is not uncommon). The families have been coming up and joining in on the great fishing.

We have had plenty of trail riders in August enjoying the many trails and incredible view from the top of Chauningan Mountain.

The weather has been very nice the last few weeks and expected to stay that way for awhile.

Hello Everyone

It is a beautiful morning, the lake is calm and sun is shining. The weather is supposed to stay relatively nice throughout the week. Highs nearing 18-20C and sunny days with a few cloudy periods.

The Mayfly hatch is still going on and I have been catching a couple of fish on the dry flies. The Doc Spratley, Wholly Bugger and Red Carey are still the hot flies to use on the lake.

We had a helicopter fly in yesterday afternoon. John and his son will be staying with us for 3 or 4 days to relax and enjoy some fishing.

Hello Everyone

The lake has been very calm the last few days. We are expected to have a mix of weather in the next few days. Some cloudy periods with a chance of rain mixed with sun but highs of 20-22C.


The fishing as always is great. There is a small mayfly hatch going on right now. So many different flies seem to be working this year. Really any green, yellow or black fly seems to be working. I am quite surprised the fish are not selective much at all this year as long as they have these colours in them. Flat fish lures are working extremely well. Green with some yellow and red are working the best.
